Mr Bean Coconut Body Scrub Review

I've got such mixed feelings about this product. First of all the packaging and size of this scrub is great, you can seal the bag and keep it in the shower which makes things easy. You get a decent amount of scrub for your $$. The texture is wet and gritty and it's great fun to apply. I scrub it all over my whole body and try to leave for 5-10 mins to get the maximum benefit from the caffeine in the coffee beans. It sounds like a long time to be standing naked in the shower but if you spend the time scrubbing rough/dry areas like elbows and knees, it really pays off. I feel absolutely amazing after I rinse the scrub off. I am completely moisturised, smooth as a baby and feel like I'm glowing. I feel like this scrub does wonders for my skin. The only problem I have is the cacao. It doesn't come off when I rinse the scrub off. It gets stuck to my skin with the coconut oil and leaves a dirty layer on my skin. And then I get big brown patches all over me which looks worse than a patchy fake tan. And it's really hard to get the cacao off. Even after washing and scrubbing my face, I still had a brown cotton pad when I toned. It honestly looks like you've been rolling in mud and haven't had time to shower. I'd really love this scrub if it didn't leave me looking grubby. It makes my skin feel absolutely amazing. It's almost worth looking dirty just for the smooth skin.

I scored a bag of this in a Goodiebox a few months back & I am hooked!

This scrub is a soft but gritty mixture of all the goodness. It smells like coffee (of course). It's a loose mixture so it's a little messy. I stand in the bath while putting it on my skin so I can scoop up the drop off (as there's a fair amount of it). The smell is just wonderful. My whole house smelt of coffee.

This scrub left my skin feeling sooo unbelievably soft & smooth & I do think it improved the appearance after doing this a couple of times in 1 month.

This stuff smells amazing! If you don't like the smell of coffee then this is definitely not for you. I find this makes such a mess! I found that it was ideal to do this in the shower however I did have to clean the shower afterwards and I'm not how good it is for the coffee beans to be going down the drain.

I placed this all over my body exfoliating my skin and left if for approximately 5-10 mins. I then rinsed it off. I found while my skin felt lovely and moisturised I was covered in a coffee bean residue which was not the look I was going for. I then scrubbed the residue off with a loofer with no other product on it. After doing this my skin did not feel great in fact it felt like it did before I used the coffee bean scrub. I've only used a couple of time but each time have not enjoyed it. If someone can give me any tips it would be greatly appreciated!

I received this in I believe my Lust Have It Womens Beauty subscription. While the packaging looks bold and to me stands out its not ideal to put in the shower. I have put it in a empty lush container so that I can easily access it in the shower, but honestly I never gravitate to it. I will however continue to try and use it.

I picked this up in the Christmas vault of '15, knowing that I already had a very good coffee scrub, and this one would have to be hella amazing to compete. It arrived in it's own box with a sheet of more of their products they make, and greedily I ripped into the sleek black bag.

Good lord. What a stench. I can't even lie and say its pleasant because it's not. Something about it just smells way too funky, but I wasn't about to let that stop me from getting 'beaned' as it says on the back of the bag. This contains so many nice ingredients, like organic coconut oil and cacao, Himalayan pink salt and of course, the coffee. I briefly wondered how I would get the scrub out of the bag until I remembered my stash of Bossy spoons - problem solved.

I scooped some out while I stood in the now turned off shower, and I began rubbing it onto my skin. It was surprisingly soft for a scrub, and even rubbing it on the skin it was rough while remaining gentle. I scrubbed my jiggly bits, the bits I keep hidden with clothes, the bits Fiance likes to pinch and bits I like to flaunt. My hands got a bit sore after a while, like they were being rubbed raw, but gladly I finished and I waited. I used what had fallen onto the shower floor to get the bottoms of my feet and tried hard not to giggle at the slightly tickling sensation.

5 minutes passed and I turned the shower on and rinsed off. I rinsed my hands, and then arms. I touched my arms. I touched my jiggly bits, hell I even touched my bum and holy biscuits and gravy batman. My skin was glowing, and it was soft. And I mean soft, like born again baby soft. I was a huge fan of the Bossy coffee scrub, but now I think it had better watch out - There's a new favorite on the horizon, and his name is Mr Bean.

I'd heard so many good things about Mr Bean Body Scrubs that when I finally got my hands on a sachet, I couldn't wait to try it out.

Unfortunately, Mr Bean Body Scrub didn't live up to expectations for me. Don't get me wrong, they smell amazing and exfoliate well! If you're not a fan of the smell of coffee, then avoid this scrub! Even though Coconut has a slight coconut scent, the coffee smell is overwhelming. Mandarin smelled a lot more like citrusy coffee, but still coffee.

I just wasn't a fan of the very course, dry texture of the scrub and found that it made a huge mess in the shower every time I used it. Most of the scrub ended up on the shower floor, with only a little stuck to me and it ended up "staining" the white shower a browish colour with the oily residue, so that had to be scrubbed with bathroom cleaner and a scourer directly afterwards!

I'm used to using a wet, almost sticky, sugar scrub and this coffee scrub was the total opposite of that. I used it according to the instructions and wet my skin before applying. I then left it on while washing my face and rinsed the scrub off before washing my body with a shower puff and body wash. I found that if I used the scrub after washing, I was left with a 'dirty' looking tan from the coffee scrub and the oily residue would rub off all over my towel.

The resealable bag that the scrub comes in is quite useless and becomes difficult to open when you're in the shower and your hands are wet and getting a handful of the loose mixture out the bag at a time can be quite messy. I chose to empty the bag into an old sugar scrub tub and found that easier to control, as I could just unscrew the top and grab a handful when I wanted to use it.

The scrub did leave my skin feeling smooth and exfoliated and it definitely did improve the appearance of my skin tone (if only temporarily), although I'm not too sure what kind of effect the coffee grounds are going to have on the drain (if they'll eventually end up causing a blockage with long-term use).

I did try to use this scrub in the bath (like I do with sugar scrubs) and it was a total disaster! I ended up sitting in something that resembled coffee soup with coffee grounds floating around everywhere and an oily residue that just lingered in the water and coated my skin. Getting out the bath was another story. Oily coffee residue and coffee grounds just stuck to me, everywhere! If you don't have a shower, don't buy this stuff! I had to jump in the shower after my bath and wash myself a second time just to get rid of the coffee grounds and oily residue. Not fun.

This could be a really great product if two things were improved; if the resealable sachet was swapped for a screw top tub and the formula made to be a little more wet (or sticky) so that its easier to use, spread and massage.

I got the Mr bean coffee scrub in the Christmas 15 beauty vault. I was quite excited to try this scrub because obviously it has coffee in it, I am a huge coffee lover! I had recently used up the Victoria secret body scrub (this is the only other scrub I have used).

The scrub is housed in a zip seal bag. I felt this was a real let down. It made a already messy scrub messier.

Application was quite difficult because the scrub is messy to apply and you end up with more scrub on the shower floor. I found the best way is to hop in the shower, get wet and then scrub up while the shower is off.

Even though application is messy I really enjoy using this scrub .The coffee smell wakes me up. The texture is a little course but I feel this just means it's working. It's definitely not harsh on the skin.

I use it twice a week and have noticed my skin feels so soft after each use and my moisturiser goes on easier too. It definitely does a good job as a body scrub.

One other problem I had with this scrub is that it leaves brown marks on your skin, prehaps I am using too much!

Overall I love how soft this makes my skin feel so I would definitely purchase it again.

I bought this during the last beauty vault sale. the scrub itself is really good - it does exfoliate and scrub off dead skin - leaving your skin feeling really smooth - without drying your skin out since its got coconut oil as a hydrating/moisturising agent. I dont know if it reduces the appearance of stretch marks or age spots - I only use it once every forthnight or weekly if i remember. It does also have a nice coffee smell which is invigorating to the senses. what i dont like about the product is the packaging itself - a small tub with a lid that shuts properly would have been better - perhaps with a dispenser as well? as it is abit of a mission trying to get the product out of the pack. Also using the product is a messy business - alot of it ends up on the floor of my shower box then on me! and i find they stain the shower box every where it lands - and if you're like me and you try and rub them off with your feet - dont bother! you'll create an even bigger mess... just wait til when you would normally clean your bathroom - get down on all four and clean your shower box with the proper cleaning agents.

Loving the luscious body scrub, I found this amazing scrub do wonders to my skins imperfections, I love that fact it includes vitamin e aswell as the different coffee beans and coconut oil.

This is amazing exfoliator for skin, it gets rid of all the dead skin on your body azwell as keeping it moisturised and leaving skin feeling so smooth and clean. I did find it to be quite messy to use, alot of the product ends up on the floor and walls of the shower. I love the strong coffee smell it has, so good to use and affordable.

I bought this few years ago when Grabone had a deal for Mr Bean for very cheap. The packet is resealable and the coconut scent is amazing.

I use it in the shower and that's the best place to use it because it will be messy. It's best applied at night so the coffee scrub doesn't stain the clothes. The scrub itself is quite course and buffs away dry skin, leaving it smooth. It feels even better when I apply lotion afterwards.

I haven't seen it around lately though, but if I do, I will use it again. I like the texture of it and the price is reasonable.

Ive had this for quite awhile now and its definitely my go too when the body needs a good scrub and exfoliation. Its quite a nice texture its even nice just to use a little on your hands while your in the shower. I had read that its good to use circular motions and move up the body so that's what i do, it can get quite messy in the shower so make sure you rinse the walls etc as soon as you can as otherwise it leaves a few marks. Its nice to keep on for a bit and then make sure you rinse all the scrub off. Pat yourself dry and i find i don't need to moisturise after it until the following day. Definitely feels like a good pick me up.
